To assemble

  1. 5
    Heat the pan over medium-high heat and drizzle the olive oil over it.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  2. 6
    Fry the sausages 3 minutes per side.
    Stove
    💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
  3. 7
    Transfer the sausages to a baking pan and finish in an oven preheated to 190°C (375°F), 8 minutes.
